You need to enter a web URL, not a local file path. So /foo/bar won’t work since it will interpret the path as a web URL relative to the current web page. Some browsers support local files using file:///foo, but not all browsers allow reading local files. You need to serve the MPD and segments on a web server for the browser to be able to read them.
